BARAHONA, Dominican Republic.-Haitian and Dominican journalists took part in the workshop "New Perspectives for the Dominican-Haitian reality: more and better journalism" on investigative reporting, migration and inter-cultural affairs.

Hosted by the Pontifical University (PUCMM) and UNESCO for Democracy and Governance, the workshops held in a Barahona hotel counted with funding from the European Union, aimed at improving, expand and widening the coverage and with perceptions of citizens from both sides of the border on migration, culture and Dominican-Haitian human relations based on research and ethics.

 The activity featured a review of journalism basics as a profession along updates on working tools and also encouraged the exchange of sources, ideas and knowledge on topics of interest discussed in three simultaneous workshops for radio, TV as well of print and online news.

Among the journalists and facilitators figured Hena Cuevas, Amelia Dechamps, Galia Garcia Palafox, Javier Valdivia, Gabriela Warkentin and Solange de la Cruz Matos.

"funding from the European Union"

This is nothing more than a ploy to continue the fusion with Haiti. European Union is a big backer of RECONOCI.DO. Who are they kidding here? The naive, ignorant Dominican. These damn stupid journalists willing to throw away our country for their damn freaking liberals ideas. Can't stand these libs.

" We all know where the agenda is coming from, including our own Pro-Haitian. Even the most respected Journalists like Nuria, Zapete, Ortega, Edith Feble (the new Sonia Pierre) stand with the fusion with Haiti. I dont know if you know that the EUROPEAN UNION is taking a leadership role in all this. They are behind the group RECONOCI. DO. that recently got legal document for 140 Haitians. The JCE appealed the decision but I dont think they will be able to stop what will be the norm from now on. :( :evil:"

These journalists, Nuria, Zapete, Ortega, Edith Feble (the new Sonia Pierre), are only wannabes, journalists that are notable “ONLY” because they were born with silver spoons, and their parents could afford to send them to good universities and have the means to know the right people in the entertaining business.

They were not self-made, and they lack the creative power. That is why they must follow trend (the trend of biased anti-Dominican expat journalist here and abroad) to look good.

Well with that name Edith Fables you could tell she is not a real Dominican, maybe first generation Haitian? Edith and Zapete look Haitian to me.

One of the worst two are Febles and Zapete from the TV program Jarabe de Zapete. They do not give up preaching a proHaitian agenda. In fact most of those journalists mentioned above are likely being paid off by anti Dominican interest groups gradually working to influence and change the mind set of the Dominican people.

Once you alter public opinion, it will be a matter of time before the people will stop looking at Haiti as a potential enemy, dangerous and harmful for the DR Instead our naives will begin to appease and favor the demands made by the undocumented.
